It seems to me that someone who knows how to date someone for 2-3 years should know how to express their feelings to that person. If not, maybe the problem is more complicated than you think.[/quote]
It’s not that simple in all cases. Sometimes people will react very badly because they are unable or unwilling to digest the information even if you are being candid.
Communicating something like a breakup is hard enough to do but makes it that much more difficult and worse when the other person is not mature enough to deal with the situation in a controlled way.
